Neck edge and thickness
Posted: Mon Apr 01, 2019 12:46 am
Hi! New to the forum here.
I have recently purchased a new Waterloo WL14. I had played one a while ago and really loved it but only recently had the chance to buy one.
One thing I've noticed is the neck is very very thick. Granted I bought the thick neck version, but my shubb capo needs no screw tightening at all to fit the first fret! Not to mention I can barely capo the neck at 6 or 7th fret due to the neck thickness, using my "regular""normal" shubb acoustic guitar capo. I did not expect the depth of the neck to be such a problem that a capo won't fit.
The other thing I've noticed is that the fingerboard edge is sharp and square, not rolled or chamferred as I remembered on other Collings and Waterloos that I've played. Is this a change in design?
A newbie but would really appreciate your help and advice. Many thanks!
